I thought you would
be interested in some photometry results I got from comet 2006 A5
(SOHO-1087). Peak brightness was at a distance of ~10 Rsun. At this
point it was begining to show signs of saturation in the images.
Unfortunatley, due to pixel values going out of range (software bug),
I was only able to get C3 photometry to ~11.5 Rs. Numbers were
slightly inconsistent, but I was getting values between 0 and -1 mag,
which is consistent with the near-saturation I saw. Certainly one of
the brightest we've seen! It entered C2 (~7Rs) in the mid-2's and
faded (evaporated!) quite rapidly thereafter.

Here is a full list of the
2006 SOHO discoveries, with the date of the comet, date of discovery,
coronagraph and discoverer.
